Use the find a Costa Oil near you tool to make your next oil change a breeze.
What Oil Does a 2016 Infiniti QX60 Take?
Choosing the correct oil viscosity is vital for optimal performance, especially for the advanced QR25DER 2 engine in your 2016 Infiniti QX60. Infiniti specifies a premium synthetic with the following viscosity grade:
- 5W-30 (All Temperatures): This is the manufacturer-recommended oil for year-round protection and ideal cold- and hot-weather starting. Using 5W-30 maintains engine efficiency and safeguards internal components in all climates.
Stick to 5W-30 synthetic for the best blend of lubricity, cleanliness, and durability. Lower or higher viscosity oils may compromise engine protection and void warranty coverage, so always follow the manufacturer’s specs.
2016 Infiniti QX60 Oil Capacity
This model’s 2.5L engine requires 6.1 quarts (5.8 liters) of motor oil—don’t overfill! Always double-check your engine oil capacity, fill in small increments, and verify with the dipstick after filling and idling the engine. Overfilling can cause frothing, increased oil consumption, and long-term engine wear. At your Costa Oil service, our techs always fill to the correct specification.
How Often Should You Change the Oil on a 2016 Infiniti QX60?
The typical oil change interval for a 2016 Infiniti QX60 is every 5,000 miles or 6 months with full synthetic oil, whichever comes first. If conventional oil is used, the interval drops to every 3,000 miles or 3 months. Factors like frequent short trips, stop-and-go driving, or towing may require earlier changes. Watch for these signs you might need to change oil sooner: a dark, gritty appearance on your dipstick, engine noise, or the oil warning light on your dash.
Oil Filter for the 2016 Infiniti QX60
The oil filter removes contaminants and protects your engine’s internal parts. Quality matters—using a premium filter ensures optimum oil flow and filtration. For your QX60’s tight-tolerance engine, choose the Costa Oil COF4622 filter for a perfect fit and OEM-grade filtration. Cheaper generic filters may not deliver the same protection or longevity.
